Yes on the Toslink to ethernet converter. There appear to be a number of options there. My impression is the CCA can handle a lot more signal width than 24/96, but Tonestar1 may be on to a better solution of simply sending the full analog system to the amp with a solution like the Monitor Audio...

An update on this- I had a call from Pro-Ject today and they say it's as easy as using their preamp E Phono mod and route the optical output to my ethernet via an Optical to Ethernet cable. Once the digital turntable signal is in my network/wifi I just need to find an app compatible with...

No doubt I'm put in the position of hybridizing, but I gave into that 4 years ago when I converted my 6000 CDs to FLAC to allow me to play higher quality music but with the ease of an iPad app.

Great question! My 60s and 70s vinyl has all disappeared in my travels but a local record shop owes me a bunch of money and I'll be picking a selection of new and used records to start over in vinyl.

It's a Yamaha A-S501.

I have an integrated amp with CCA in the optical port to cast my FLAC music collection via WIFI from a NAS Drive. That system drives indoor and outdoor Monitor Audio speakers. I want to add a turntable that gives either a lossless or non-compressed signal to cast to the CCA. I understand...
